Your thoughts on this murder?

[p4pking]

Video doesn't really help so no idea for sure. The kid was obviously in the process of a crime, but that has nothing to do with whether the cop had any basis to shoot him. The way it reads, if he was trying to escape through a window it seems very unlikely he could have made an officer fear for his safety at the same time. Sounds like they could have easily just let this guy escape and assume he would be taken down a couple of blocks away, they have to err on that side when in doubt no matter what.

The reason police officers do not use tasers or batons is that they are scared that the civilians have guns.

Just another wasted life and murder that could have been prevented.

Let's wait and see how the media plays this up.

Round 1 >

Already, they are stating that this kid was a College Football Player {meaning he was a good kid}.

Not sure what that means, as he was 'breaking the law', a statement that they didn't say.

Round 1 ......... Media Bias

They have to say he was a good kid to make for the fact that he was Black which means he was not a good kid.

But the police officers DO use tasers and batons and a taser was used in this case specifically.

The citizenry in the United States have ALWAYS had guns...the police aren't scared of the reality of that situation. Now having a gun while getting arrested, that's something where you know 100% without a doubt that you had best either be extremely quick on the draw and be willing to kill OR you'd better listen really hard to what that officer says, move slowly and deliberately in a peaceful manner to avoid being killed.

It's not rocket science and I don't understand how people can act like they don't know what to do, just remain calm, listen, don't talk, just listen, and do not resist.....if that is done there's 0 reason for an officer to give you a hard time regardless of skin color.

It's not rocket science, but you'd be surprised how many things that are supposed to be "common sense" need to be reinforced constantly to a certain sector of the population. Hence, my earlier post.

Ill Mannered Youth,

Loses again.

3-Days from now, nobody will care. There will be another issue somewhere else.

[Dia bando]

To be honest this is nothing new, same old story same out come DEAD , over excited idiot
with a gun, and a idiot not following instructions.
I am glad the boys in blue, are not all armed over here.!

[Dia bando]

My friend in work his cousin, is now a copper in OZ he was in the met armed response on
average would draw his fire arm, 20 to 30 times a day.
He's been in OZ coming up to 4 years, and has never had to draw his gun.!

Yes Black on Black killings is more prevalent.

Yet the #blacklivesmatter group is relatively silent on those deaths OR people will actually get offended at that even being brought up. Also the people brought up as "wrongly killed" are often not very nice good upstanding citizens....like Mike Brown for example. Now I don't care if he had marijuana in his system or whatever the way things went down that day don't point to Michael Brown being "accidentally killed" nor do they point to Michael Brown being "savagely murdered by an uncaring authoritarian white police officer" ....the signs point to Michael Brown not really wanting to deal with authority on that day as evidenced by his treatment of the shop owner and later Officer Wilson himself.

"Tragic" that a man (18 year old) would act that way? Yes, I agree 100%

"Avoidable" that a policeman would shoot a suspect? YES, but the suspect can raise or lower their own odds by the way they CHOOSE to act.

It's not rocket science, but you'd be surprised how many things that are supposed to be "common sense" need to be reinforced constantly to a certain sector of the population. Hence, my earlier post.

Correct, but I'm never surprised, always disappointed. And of course I didn't want you to feel like I lashed out at YOU in my response, but it's so fucking frustrating as I am sure you understand.

No way would a group that call itself black lives matter not raise black on black deaths.

Guarantee they would be first to raise it.

Media are not interested for their own reasons.

Well you'd think that, but I haven't seen the same emphasis placed on gang violence in Chicago as has been placed on when a policeman shoots a person of color.


That said I'm not in that movement, I see it along the same lines as Occupy Wall Street, just a bunch of SJW's with nothing but time on their hands
